Nowadays, European countries like Germany, Spain and Denmark already have a significant share of wind generation in their electricity generation mix. In parallel, the large-scale integration of wind power is also taking place at a rapid pace in other European countries. The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) foresees 230,000MW of wind capacity installed by 2020 (of which 40,000MW will be off-shore) able to produce 600TWh per year and to cover 14-18% of EU electricity demand.
